Spoilerr
She run away because of the murder happened in the mansion and she suspects vincent involved with the murder since 5 years ago she almost got killed. And yes vincent know she’s the real paula when he overheard paula read the same book to robert and he just get along when alicia says she’s paula.

Its annoying when you read the novel and is way ahead up the game… yes spoiler alert but he already knew it was her. I forgot when but he eventually knows and when the mc tries to runaway because he “mistakens” Paula for the sister instead, she can’t take it anymore. And she runs into the mansion that was forgotten and he meets her there saying “I knew you’d come here”
